spurs1990 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Also missed Chris Webber at 230, Alex Davis at 255, and Avery Roberts at 215. Before you complain about Roberts, give him a shot a college strength program. As an early enrollee he's going to be at a much better weight come August/September. Quote Link to comment
I AM FOOT FOOT Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 looking forward to the behind closed doors fight between Diaco and Phillips. let us know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment
famoustitles Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 no noseguard, tiny linebackers that cant tackle. Wisconsin is going to score 70 again. Quote Link to comment

Don't think I would expect Roberts to be an OLB anyway. He should be perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment
eoltmer Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I can't imagine, scheme change or not, how anybody could be worse than Banker.Why hello my name is Kevin and I heard you were looking for a D.C. /sarcasmhttp://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics15/400/VU/VUPMSGSPYNGUPUK.20040204161857.jpg Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 If you did catch him, Carriker was on Unsportsmanlike Conduct earlier giving his insights on the 3-4: https://soundcloud.com/unsportsmanlike-conduct-1/jan-20-seg-12-adam-carriker-former-blackshirt Says it's going to take a while to learn the new system... as in Years. Says new system is total opposite of old system... could not be more different. He also says that it immediately creates a much more unpredictable alignment for offenses to decipher. That is a big bonus in my opinion. You are right that it sounds like an awful lot of education that is about to come our players way, but I trust that he is a solid teacher and we definitely have position coaches that will get buy in fairly quickly. He did also state that these are young guys and as opposed to NFL guys don't have a huge amount of muscle memory in the 4-3. They will be able to pick it up I think. Won't be perfect right away obviously, but I don't think it will be years till we see the benefits. Right. Also need to realize all these guys have played in a variety of systems in HS... Most probably in a 4-3, but some will make the transition easier than us. 1 Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Did you not here him say his first year at UCONN they were a top 15 defense? I think his system is adaptable and effective just based on that. He will construct the system around the players we have. Look who they played. They play in the American Athletic Conference. And he was not the Defensive coach of that team... he was the head coach... Of a team that went... 2-10... 6-7... 3-9... in his 3 years as head coach. Should we fire his ass? Quote Link to comment
thatguy Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 not every former player should be a subject matter expert... Quote Link to comment
commando Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 we dont have any nose tackles? going to be tough to win with only 10 defenders on the field Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Whisky goes from 211 lbs at OLB to a whopping 259....Watt and Biegel 244 and 245. But they hit and could fly....DE's were 268/267 and NG was 288.... They seemed pretty good..... Bama-NG 319 lbs DE 291/307 OLB 252/253 lbs Another year in the weight room and our guys can be closer in weight. Maybe moving our DE's to OLB is an option as well. Again, a 3-4 has many different schemes..... 1 Quote Link to comment

In the Deed the Glory Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 We have just hired one of the premier Defensive Coordinators in college football. They guy won the Broyles Award for sh#ts sake. Now we have guys already negative on the hire. How in the hell is that even possible? 3 Quote Link to comment

When bill Parcells took over Dallas and they switched to 3-4. The MLB's were Dat Nguyen and Dexter Coakley. They were considered tiny and did just fine for a few seasons to help transition.
